Friendship Celebration

Re: The article "Cookbook develops along with friendships" (A-J, 5-2). We, the Fabulous Five  Diane Earl, Phyllis Jones, Stephanie McKee, Jan Tonroy and Debbie Rubin  would like to thank all the people who helped us celebrate the debut of our new cookbook "Always Enough Thyme." We were overwhelmed by the response to our book. We were delighted by the number of people who came, but most of all, we were touched by all the kind words of encouragement and praise.

It was our desire to publish a cookbook that celebrated our friendship and our love of cooking, and to encourage women to make the Thyme for great friends, fabulous food and spiritual fun.

One of the women in our group has faced and overcome breast cancer with a style, courage and grace that has taught the rest of us the healing power of love and faith. We were able to donate $500 from the sale of our book on May 3 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
